This reminds me of my old friend Nico's TalksNote, but I personally prefer Sona's design style. Sorry, Nico! 🤣

I love it!! Totally useful to get sense out of my conversation with friends & coworkers — just let Sona record it and *boom* you will never miss a conversation insight. This is great tool! 👏
Florian Kiem
@felixhaberle Thanks Felix - means a lot!!

Good job on the design! What are other ways to augment the transcriptions? Blogs? Newsletters? Social media posts?

Amazing!!! just being curious... do you store the complete voice conversation or once you process it , you get the voice to text transcript, (maye with emotions, like how the person was talikng, happy, sad..) and then you dumpt it. This is from the server load POV because my voice notes take tooo much space
Florian Kiem
@rupgo Hey Ruben - thank you so much! We store the conversations in complete anonymized form on our servers, why do you think they take up too much space for you? :)

I've been following the app on X since its early prototypes and love the design and everything about it—except for one thing: the price feels a bit steep. If it uses OpenAI, I'd suggest offering a "bring your own API key" pricing model, where users can just pay once for the app.

Congrats on the launch! Do you have any plan in the future to provide a native connection with Zoom or Meets? It would be great to use this tool in business meetings.
Allan Jiang
Great design, I'm wondering who's the designer behind this product? Thanks!
Florian Kiem
@allan_jiang Hey Allan, thanks for the great compliment. @nilseller designed most of the App.
Nils Eller
@allan_jiang thank you!
Raphael Volpert
Love the simplicity of it, great to finally have a native macOS app to record meetings without any bots joining! Awesome work @nilseller & @flornkm!!
Nils Eller

This looks interesting! Are you using Whisper Chatgpt LLM under the hood, or is it a custom LLM?

Love the simplicity/minimalism of it. Is an android launch planned at any time @nilseller ?

Just tried it myself and a few ideas for future improvements: 1. [There is no play recording button], which means the information loss if the transcript itself is poor, which brings huge insecurity when using it in important meetings/convo. 2. [Recordings are uploaded to cloud]: I would assume Sona is supposed to be designed like a personal App for not-so-professional convo, because there are already so many competitors out there for the 2B world (Otta.ai, MS Copilot, etc.), then uploading the recording to cloud for the transcript might not be appealing to customers who value more privacy during those convo (or someone who simply wants to log thoughts or diary) 3. [Offline usability is necessary] as we know no everywhere in this planet has access to Wifi but our convo or ideas can pop up anywhere. The App is simply useless without Wifi which is another reason to stop me from paying the PRO version. Thanks!

@nilseller - Sona will be a game changer, I've used other tools, but Sona will be great on the go. I can't wait to test it out. Congrats on the launch!!

What are the translation features?

Congrats on the launch! Sona sounds like a game-changer for transcription. What's your favorite feature so far?
Ivan Xu
This is exactly what I've been hunting for to replace my messy note-taking habits! The Apple Watch integration is genius - no more fumbling with my phone during important convos. That 99% accuracy claim across 99+ languages is pretty wild, and I love that it works silently in the background with Dynamic Island support. The custom summary templates are a neat touch for different meeting types. Already downloaded it for my client meetings tomorrow - beats trying to remember everything or looking rude typing away on my laptop! 📱⌚️
Florian Kiem
@_ivan1 Thanks Ivan! 🫶 So many great compliments. Really appreciate it!
Tom
That really seems useful for a lot of different cases in my daily routine! I will try it out!
Nils Eller
@troubletony looking forward to your feedback!
Evelyn Kumsah
I like this Sona! t’s perfect for making sure nothing gets missed in meetings, lectures, or interviews. The chat feature sounds intriguing too — being able to interact with the insights directly is such a smart addition

Looks crisp! ✨
